In comenting on general health problems today. Dr. Herman C. Morgan, secretary of the city board of health, said the public is inclined to give too little Importance to the dishwasher in hotels and restaurants. Dr. Morgan says tests made show a large percentage of diseases carried by saliva and contact are spread through insanitary condition of dishes and that a good dishwasher can do more to eliminate this medium of disease spreading than any other person. He said investigations and tests show where the dishes are washed in soapj suds changed frequently and are rinsed in scalding hot water there is little danger of germs thriving. The dishwasher who does the job well, he said. Is one of the best assets the public can have. “They are,” he said, “one of the guardians of the health of the general public.” ! The city campaign against tuberculosis has not gathered momentum. Dr. Morgan said, but already two of the extra clinics for the treatment of persons infected with tuberculosis have been started and two more will be started within the near future.

START WORK ON SEWAGE PLANT Delay Caused by Lack of Cement Overcome. Members of the board of sanitary commissioners said today that work has been started on the large filtering; chambers at the east side of White river where the five-foot steel siphon Is to be laid under the river to deliver the sewage of the city to the disposal plant ou Sellers’ farm. The chambers, which will be built principally of concrete and steel, will filter the large particles from the sewage before It enters the huge steel siphon. Work on the chambers was to have been completed by this time, according to the original plans, but the hold-up In the delivery of cement and other materials has made it impossible to go on with the work. One thousand barrels of cement have arrived, which contractors say will tide the work over until more materials can be obtained. Relief In the tieup of street construction work was promised last week by Dwight S. Ritter, city purchasing ageut, who said arrangements have been made with the Monon and Pennsylvania railways for the transportation of about twenty cars of cement from the Mitchell, Ind., plant of the Portland Cement company. City officials .claim that the tieup Is due directly to Inadequate transportation facilities. They said that railway officials seemed willing to co-operate in any way they could. fc_ j When Folks I Quit Coffee I because of cost to J health or purse, they j naturally drink Instant Postum “There's a Reason

INDIANAPOLIS MAN DECLARES MOTHER IS MUCH BETTER Suffered from lazy liver, dizziness, tired out, no account feeling, constipation and stomach disorder. Claims two bottles of the new remedy Dreco, has brought a big change in her.

“It is wonderful to see the big change la mother since she has been taking Dreco,” said Mrs. S. C. Walker of 121 i East McCarty street, Indianapolis, j “Mother lives In Marlon, Ind., but Is on a visit here. She had taken Dreco back home, so when she read in the papers that it could be bought in Indianapolis, she had me make a special trip to the drug store to get some. "For a long time she has been bothered with constipation and had to take medicine nearly every night for this trouble. Her liver was very sluggish, giving her a bitter taste In the mouth, that tired, | worn-out feeling, dizzy spells and head* ; aches. Her strength was very low and j her sleep was broken. “Two bottles of Dreco have made her like a different woman. She has a big appetite, sleeps sound all night long, never has a headache now, dizzy spoils and the constipation have been entirely relieved. Really Dreco has been ft great ; blessing to her.” Dreco acts on the liver In * smooth, ; gentle manner, gradually jv-rking off the excess bile day by day. It Is neither strong nor harsh, and does not excite the muscle,** es cue bowels, as strong cath3tif,3 do. It tones up the dlgestir* ! organs and relieves gas on the stomach; puts an end to constipation; Increases the appetite; gives strength to weak kidr nevs; restores tired nerves and Induces ! sound sleep. Dreco is a great blood purI lfier and system cleanser. All good druggists now sell Dreco end It is being especially introduced In Indianapolis by Clark & Cades’ Claypool Hotel Drug store.—Advertisement. SAGE TEA KEEPS YOUR HAIR DARK When Mixed With Sulphur It Brings Back Its Beautiful Lustre at Once. Gray hair, however handsome, denotes advancing age. We all know the advantages of a youthful appearance. Your hair Is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray and looks streaked, Just a few applicatlona of Sage Tea and Sulphur enhances Its appearance a hundred-fold. , Don't stay gray! Look young! Either prepare the recipe at home or get from any drug store a bottle of “Wyeth’s Saga and Sulphur Compound,” which is merely the old-time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients. Thousands of folks recommend this ready-to-use preparation, because it darkens the hair beautifully, besides, no one can possibly tell, as it darkens so naturally and evenly. You moisten a sponge or soft brush with it, drawing this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two, its natural color is restored and It becomes thick, glossy and lustrous, and you appear years younger.—Advertisement.
